Grecian Taste and Roman Spirit: The Society of Dilettanti
Daily through October 27, 2008
Getty Villa
The Society of Dilettanti was founded in 1734 in London as a dining club for British gentlemen who had made the Grand Tour. They sponsored archaeological expeditions to Greece and Asia Minor, and assembled celebrated antiquities collections. Notorious revelers and wits, this close-knit circle of aristocratic patrons, antiquarians, artists, and architects transformed the study of classical art from a matter of private delight into one of public consequence. This exhibition presents portraits, sculptures, drawings, and rare books that illuminate the Society's first 100 years.
